A special moment I enjoyed with my family

A special moment that I really enjoyed with my family is when me and my dad play video games together. Even though he is not very good at them, seeing him so enthusiastic about it just makes me smile everytime. On one special day, me and my family had just came back from church. It was a special day to me as it was my birthday. My whole family saw me playing the Xbox alone and decided to join in the fun. For my dad and brother, it was normal of them, but for my mother and sister, I have never seen them touch the Xbox before. It really broke my heart just watching them trying to make my birthday an enjoyable one. We played car-racing games and had plenty of laughs. After that non-stop fun, we decided to go out for dinner and eat a feast just for me. We went to Changi Village and ordered a feast fit for a king. There was so much food we could barely finish it. Fortunately, my dad being known as the 'dustbin', managed to finish all the leftovers. It was really a fantastic day for me and I will never forget my 14th birthday for the rest of my life. This was in fact, the best birthday ever! Seeing my whole family just trying to make my special day really touched me. This also taught me the true meaning of family. Family is something that will always be there for you no matter in times of trouble or need, it will see you through and help you overcome the obstacles that stand in your way.

Rainy days

A Moment Spent Alone Doing Something I Enjoyed

One thing I really like doing, is playing musical instruments like the guitar and piano while singing along to it. Whenever I do that, it always makes me happy and changes my mood no matter how bad my day was. If I'm feeling down, I will immediately just go to my room when I reach home and try learning a new song. This allows me to express how I feel, as the songs I sing are usually in sync with my mood. For this one day, I was feeling really down as school had just started and I missed going out with my friends. I really felt depressed and alone as no one was really there for me to talk to. I then decided to take out my guitar and pick the song 'Dirty Little Secret' by the All-American Rejects. The secret was that I really do miss most of my primary school friends. But I don't tell anyone as that would make me seem emotional. And I didn't really wanted to let my friends know about it. After playing that song, I really felt a lot better and that made my day. I learned that just a simple thing like playing a song can really help you with your daily life.

Fernando Torres

The sweetheart of all Liverpool fans. Boys admire him and girls adore him. He is the one and only Fernando Torres, who made a quite unexpected move last friday. Kenny Dalglish had taken over the club and the club are back on the right track. They have been winning matches and Torres looked like a more rejuvenated player under Dalglish. However, he handed in a transfer request to move to Chelsea. I really could not believe it when I read the newspapers. Had he forgotten all the promises he made? He promised that he would never want to play for any English club other than Liverpool. He also promised he would be fully committed to the club till the end of his contract. Now, he is turning his back on the club. He also mentioned that he wanted the club to have an ambition to win trophies, which is exactly what they are doing now, having successfully signed Luis Suarez for 22.8 million pounds to strengthen the squad. The Liverpool owners are unwilling to sell him unless Chelsea offer a very high price. According to tabloids, Chelsea are planning to cough up a record British fee of 50million pounds! They might also throw either Didier Drogba, Nicolas Anelka or Daniel Sturridge in to sweeten the deal. I really hope Torres stays. I cannot imagine Liverpool without him. Well, the transfer window closes in a few hours. I hope the deal doesn't fall through. However, the only thing I can do now, like the millions of Liverpool fans in the world, is to pray......

Stupid home econs

Today, we had home econs lesson in school. It was one of my least favourite lessons as I was pathetic at cooking and food related stuff. In addition to that, I had to see the big blonde dog before the lesson when we queued up, which was indeed a disgusting and gruesome sight. I almost vomitted. Fortunately, she wasn't our teacher as the class was split up into 2. When we entered the class, our teacher, Ms Jessica told us that we were going to make peanut butter cookies. She instructed us to put on our aprons and gather at her table. She started explaining the procedures to bake the cookie but I was not listening as I was busy talking to Makoto and knew I had a reliable partner in Shao Qi who would do everything. Just then, Ms Jessica heard me and Makoto talking and scolded us. Soon, we were told to return to our respective tables and to start making our cookies. As usual, it was Shao Qi doing all the work as I sat in a corner relaxing. Soon, Makoto got bored and came over to talk to me. However, I felt guilty and decided to help Shao Qi. After we finish, I left Shao Qi to shape the mixture and put it in the oven. Then, I decided to play a prank to Makoto. I use the brush and from behind him spread oil on his face. Unfortunately, Ms Jessica saww it and made me stay back for 30minutes to clean the home econs room. I really regreted my actions and it was a bad day for me......

Disappointed and in a difficult situation

The past few days have not been good for me. In fact, it has been quite difficult. On tuesday, I realised that I had not been chosen to represent Victoria for soccer. I was very upset and did not understand why. For the past one year I have been attend training consistently and working very hard but the coach still felt I still wasn't good enough to make it to the team. I really wanted to play for the school team badly. Another factor was that if I would not receive enough CCA points if I did not play in competitons for school. To make matters worse, Sec 1 players were selected before me and those whom I felt I was better than. Or maybe, I was just too over-confident. The thought of changing CCA came to my mind. The floorball coach, Mr Amir, had asked me a few times to join him in floorball. A few of my friends advised me to change to floorball as they felt that I would have a higher chance of representing school but others from floorball thought differently. And the soccer teacher also told me that I might have a slim chance of playing for the team in the national tournament as I did not get selected for only the east zone. But the chances weren't very high. Also, joining floorball would not guarantee me a spot in the team so I was in a dilemma. Today, another bad thing happened. During PE, I did not follow instructions and was punished to sit out for the rest of the session. My PE teacher, who was also Mr Amir, first blew the whistle to tell us to gather. However, I went to retrieve the ball and dribbled and played with the ball awhile with my friend before we went to gather. Mr Amir was quite angry and said he felt that I could not follow instructions so I wasn't selected for the soccer team. I was already very upset about not being selected and what he said really hurt me. Meanwhile, he still hadn't sent me out. He wanted us to continue passing the ball around. My friend gave me a bad pass and the ball rolled towards the goalposts. I took the opportunity to shoot the ball towards goal and I hit it a little too hard and I slammed onto the crossbar with a loud bang. Mr Amir had enough and asked me to sit at the sidelines. After school, I wanted to attend floorball training as my soccer teacher told me to do so first. However, when I told Mr Amir I wanted to join in, he said no and told me to go back to soccer as he did not want players who couldn't listen to instructions. Those words really cut through my heart...... Sometimes I really wonder why I am such an idiot. Sigh, first month of the year and so much trouble already...... I just hope everything will turn out okay......
